Tuesdays with Dorie - Sweet Potato Biscuits

I'm a sweet potato-lover through and through.

So when I made these Sweet Potato Biscuits back in May I was a little disappointed that they were flat!

Don't get me wrong. The flavor was fabulous and I knew the recipe was a keeper but man, I was so sad i had failed at an attempt to have tall, fluffy biscuits.

Fast forward five months when the group actually bakes them...and most everyone seemed to have this problem. Phew. But still, I want to fix the problem. (Though at the moment I am a bit lazy to try the recipe...maybe for Thanksgiving?)

For mine, I used canned sweet potatoes, though I 'd be willing to cook my own next time. I also used my beautiful biscuit cutters from Williams-Sonoma that my mom bought me last year for Christmas.



You can find the recipe at Prudence Pennywise. Be sure to check out the other Tuesday with Dorie baker's blogs here!

Next week: Cherry-Fudge Brownie Torte (it sounds amazing!)

Yours aren't as flat as mine, yours actually look really great!! I was never a sweet potato fan, I just can't get past the texture. But mashing them and incorporating them into the biscuits may have been the gate way to using it more often in my baking.

And now... I have to get those biscuit cutters!

I don't think the biscuits look particularly flat. These are so yummy it doesn't matter what they look like.
